May the years ahead be good to you (and your husband) with many more books to come! Sometimes I think there's a kind of coming together, a community of friends and family that nurtures us through all our days. Perhaps these are the angels others write about.Beth Camphttp://bethandwriting.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477142997810352603.post-73829734517526675742013-03-02T02:19:43.542-08:002013-03-02T02:19:43.542-08:00Nobody would want to bedridden.

I truly want a choice in my aging/ultimate death. I think if you are active with your mind and not too many aches and pains, then great. My Dad is 81 and going strong. But, I don't want to be bedridden and a burden. That sums it up for me at age 54. Who knows what the future holds?Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604494404874408870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477142997810352603.post-47852123387248902312013-03-01T13:19:59.587-08:002013-03-01T13:19:59.587-08:00What a beautiful attitude to have.

You have made terms w/ aging and I think that's beautiful. God is not surprised that we decline. We need to learn to accept it w/ grace like you have done.
